ENTIRELY PROFESSIONAL.
But Little Change in the Character OF
the Dealings on 'Change.


New YORK, July 26.--There was stlll no
change 10 the character OF the stock market
to-day, outsiders and tho cllques doing
absolutely nothing, and the transactions
were entirely In the hands OF the profess
slonal element There was some selling by
Lon,ion early In the day, but the business
done for that interest was Insignificant.
There was no attempt to support prices,
and the traders being bearlshly inclined
again sold the list down, and In the after
noon made vigorous drive at New Eng
land, the result being material losses
throughout the list. There was some i'm
provement In Pacific Mail early In the day
upon Paris advices OF the success OF the
Panama loan, but the improvement was
short lived, and the steady pressure soon
began to tell. The agitation Of the money
question also aided somewhat to produce
depression.
The opening was Irregular but there was
some degree OF animation displayed In the
early dealings. Fractional advances were
established In the first few minutes but
these were soon wiped out and small frac-
tons IN addition were lost The market
then became very dull with generally firm
undertone, which continued Till the last
yeloped In the entire list with New England
as the special feature and the close was
quiet though heavy to weak at the lowest
prices OF the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging from
to 5, last loan at 4, and closing offered at
4. Sterling exchange dull and steady.
Actual business at 1927 to 4S3 for
00-day bills, and 4S41 TO 4S42 for de-
mand. Posted rates 1881 to Ash Gov
ernment bonds have been dull and heavy.
State bonds have been neglected.
